Main takeaways: - Find a team where you are not a natural fit - Coming from different background with different knowledge and education allows for a different perspective - If everyone agrees, be the odd man out, aka the advantages of being a devil's advocate - Asking the “dumb” question is a valuable trait to broaden other people’s perception
